I'm doing a section between Buena Vista and Waynesboro (the Priest and Three Ridges area) in a few weeks. Are water sources okay? Would welcome additional feedback and info from anyone that has knowledge of this section. Thanks

I passed through, SOBO, in late May. I had no problem with water.
The springs/streams at the shelters were all flowing, nothing stagnant.
I found the shelter/campground spacing inconvenient and dry-camped (LNT) along this stretch.
This stretch was hit hard by last November's wind storms.
The trail is now clear of large blowdowns, but I saw plenty of sawdust piles next to newly cut fallen tree trunks.
Should be fine. We've had enough rain of late that most listed sources should be adequate.
Thanks One Arm and Pastor Byron. Good to know water sources are plentiful. I wondered about wind damage in this area specifically..
I just hiked that entire section. Plenty of water, more than I usually find in this area actually.
